This is a booklet published to mark the fortieth anniversary of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at Cuba in Crawford County, Missouri, on 20 November 1955.  Included are brief histories of Lu­theranism in Cuba and of the congregation, which was affiliated with the Lutheran Church – Mis­souri Synod.

 

Although there had been Lutheran services for many years in Cuba, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church was not formally organized until 21 November 1915.  Its members subscribed to the Un­altered Augsburg Confession, and joined what is now the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod in 1921.  A constitution in English replaced the original German constitution in 1916.  The corner­stone of a church building at the corner of Park and School streets was laid in February 1917 and the building was dedicated in May of that year.  In 1922 the building was removed to the corner of Hickory and Myrtle streets.  By 1955 the congregation had 163 “baptized” members, 116 “com­municants,” and 27 “voting” members.

 

This eight-page booklet includes a history of the congregation and its activities, including an elementary school, a Sunday School, Ladies Aid Society, and the Walther League.  A photo­graph of the church building is on the outside front cover.
